Ex-Pirates favorite Josh Harrison agrees to deal with Nationals
WASHINGTON — The Washington Nationals agreed to terms on a one-year contract Thursday with utility man and former Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Josh Harrison.
The 33-year-old returns to Washington after hitting .278 with two doubles, three home runs, 14 RBIs, six walks and 11 runs scored with the Nationals last season. He hit .309 as a starter as manager Dave Martinez wrote Harrison into the lineup at second base, third base, left field, right field and designated hitter.
A two-time National League All Star, Harrison spent his first eight major league season with the Pirates from 2011-18. He joined the Detroit Tigers in 2019 and spent spring training and summer camp with the Philadelphia Phillies before signing with the Nationals in late July.
Harris is a career .273 hitter with 56 home runs, 291 RBIs and 384 runs scored in 911 games over 10 seasons.
